Ticket cameras

There is a red light camera on the way home to work. I have started to avoid it all together. I have already seen 3 rear ending accident in last one year. Think about, how many might have happened which I have not seen myself.

I have seen people applying brakes suddenly to yellow and then get rear ended by driver behind them.

Drove to Phoenix Yesterday and on I10 east bound coming into Phoenix we passed over 15 speed cameras in a 25 mile span of road. I had just updated my camera list. Half of the cameras were not on the list. I know everybody here is updating the list as fast as they can. You could end up up with 15 speeding tickets in the mail after you go through Phoenix. BEWARE!!!

I noticed an 18 wheeler with a long trailer running a red light at a camera intersection but I didn't see the camera flash. Got me to wondering if the cameras might not be able to take a picture because the rigs are too long? Looks like at some intersections the big rig extends from one white line to the other.

Any big rig driver's here ever get a ticket from a red light camera?

In today's Cleveland OH Plain Dealer...

"Cleveland faces a possible avalanche of court challenges to tickets issued by the city's controversial traffic cameras after a lawyer won an unprecedented court ruling Thursday.

Kansas City will no longer be just issuing warnings, but now tickets to red light cameras.

I have verified that you cannot get a speeding ticket in the state of Missouri via a speed camera (red light cameras are different). I know that there are speed cameras in MO in the POI files, and I know that this should not be the case.

I passed a strange looking camera that was bolted to an electrical transformer this morning.

I didn't think that NJ was supposed to have ticket cameras. This differs from the standard traffic cameras that are mounted to light poles.

Can anyone identify what this thing is?

I guess we can't hot link in photos, so I put this on a flickr account, web address below:

Does the Nuvi 200 support the mp3 alerts or do I have to convert to be able to use alerts? Or does the the file I downloaded have a built in default alert sound?

I am stumbling along with this new Zumo 550 and need some help.

I've loaded the POIs I wanted, and it comes up in favorites on the 550 and all I have to do is select and import them for them to be active. Does this means they will pop up on my screen as I am close to them?

Just wondering if having a red light and ticket camera warning on a GPS activated, if founded, is illegal in certain states?

More grist for the windmill. I haven't seen this posted here before:

As an aside, I wonder what the benefit of "3-d images of vehicles" would be for an enforcement camera?

A friend of mine was using the Redlight file in Chicago, and thought that, for him, it would be more useful if the screen displayed the cross streets. So I wrote a program that will take the coordinates, determine the cross streets and re-write the display text.

Hello everyone, I have a favor to ask. I would really like to feature the speed limits for our Speed Cameras.

So if everyone could take a moment to download the newest speed camera file that I just posted and look to see if the locations in your area have the speed limit listed.

I started investigating redlight cameras that are popping up like bunny rabbits in Illinois.

Hi,

Perhaps you saw this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/4387759/Nearly-all-...

Will the rest of the world soon have similar news???

Just announced this week the City of Gaithersburg will be activating a new Speed Camera in the 900 Block of Quince Orchard Blvd. The city website article* is posted below:

Safe Speed Programs seventh speed camera location has been approved for enforcement efforts under the City of Gaithersburg's Safe Speed program.

Has anyone reported the new speed cameras installed on I17 near Bethany Home and around Camelback? I just noticed them on my way to work. These are southbound on I17. I wasn't able to get the coodinates on them and was hoping one of you had.

Thanks!

could this be hapenning:
